Everyone who has been using the portable version of the MirBSD cpio(1),
pax(1), tar(1) combined utility should upgrade, as the new version not
only allows the executables to be called, for example, mirtar
(to avoid breaking tools such as dpkg-source and lintian when they are
in the $PATH), but also contains fixes regarding certain types
of broken archives, such as these found in the Fedora Core 4 RPMs, which
do not store the data content of hard-linked files packed with the first
archive member but a later (the last). Furthermore, the ‘-v’ option may
now be given multiple times to the cpio and pax, not only tar, frontend.
